[IMPORTANT] Use TaskCreate to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ask user whether to skip.
Quick Summary
Goal: Optimize an existing skill for token efficiency, clarity, and effectiveness.
Workflow:
-
Analyze — Review skill structure, line count, progressive disclosure
-
Optimize — Reduce SKILL.md size, move details to references, improve clarity
-
Validate — Verify skill still works correctly after optimization
Key Rules:
-
Delegates to skill-creator for optimization patterns
-
SKILL.md target: under 100 lines with progressive disclosure
-
Reference files also under 100 lines each
Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).
Think harder. Use skill-creator and claude-code skills. Use docs-seeker skills to search for documentation if needed.
Arguments
SKILL: $1 (default: * ) PROMPT: $2 (default: empty)
Your mission
Optimize an existing skill in .claude/skills/${SKILL} directory.
Mode detection:
-
If arguments contain "auto" or "trust me": Skip plan approval, implement directly.
-
Otherwise: Propose plan first, ask user to review before implementing.

Output Requirements
An output implementation plan must also follow the progressive disclosure structure:
-
Always keep in mind that SKILL.md and reference files should be token consumption efficient, so that progressive disclosure can be leveraged at best.
-
SKILL.md is always short and concise, straight to the point, treat it as a quick reference guide.
-
Create a directory using naming pattern from ## Naming section.
-
Save the overview access point at plan.md , keep it generic, under 80 lines, and list each phase with status/progress and links.
-
For each phase, add phase-XX-phase-name.md files containing sections (Context links, Overview with date/priority/statuses, Key Insights, Requirements, Architecture, Related code files, Implementation Steps, Todo list, Success Criteria, Risk Assessment, Security Considerations, Next steps).
IMPORTANT:
-
Skills are not documentation, they are practical instructions for Claude Code to use the tools, packages, plugins or APIs to achieve the tasks.
-
Each skill teaches Claude how to perform a specific development task, not what a tool does.
-
Claude Code can activate multiple skills automatically to achieve the user's request.
IMPORTANT Task Planning Notes (MUST FOLLOW)
-
Always plan and break work into many small todo tasks
-
Always add a final review todo task to verify work quality and identify fixes/enhancements
